Calling all art lovers! The Wekiva Paint Out is back, blending art and nature to celebrate and protect the Wekiva River! From February 24 to March 1, artists from across the country will take over Wekiva Island and Wekiwa Springs State Park as they paint en plein air, capturing the area's beauty. Guests can tour the gallery, purchase artwork straight from the easel, and support the conservation efforts of Keep Seminole Beautiful and the Wekiva Wilderness Trust.

A highlight of the week is the free-to-attend Live Auction on February 26 at 7 p.m., where guests can bid on stunning pieces to take home. On March 1, from noon to 2 p.m., aspiring artists can join the Quick Draw Amateur Competition, painting alongside the pros for a chance to win. That evening, enjoy the All-Inclusive Gala from 6 to 10 p.m., featuring a curated meal, drinks, and a picturesque riverside setting. Tickets are $50 per person or $90 per couple.
